To Locate with us.

The following item which we take from
the great Bend correspondence TO the Sus-
quehanna EUening Transcript explains il.
self We hope Mr.. Smith will find this sec
tion of the state congenial to his Aealth
and financial prosperity: "F. S. Smith, ID.
ID. s., departed Saturday for Lehighton, Pa.
where he will open an office for the practice
of his profession. During residence of
six years in this place he has succeeded in
building up large and constantly -increas-
ing business. AS dentist, Mr. Smith
ranks among the best, statement to which
his work will bear ample testimony. Ow-
ing to evere catarrhal difficulty to which
the climate here was constant aggravat-
ion, he was compelled to seek change of
climate His many friends in social, as
well as in business circles, will regret his
departure, but what is our loss will be
Lehighton's gain. May fortune attend him
in his new field of labor. His family will
continue TO occupy his residence onWilliams
street until next spring."
DIR. FL. Smith goes to Lehighton this
week where he will locate as a dentist.
While here for the past t.six years the Doctor
has built up an enYlable reputation in that
profession and our people will regret that
he is to leave. He is troubled with catsfs
rhal hay fever difficulty which compels him
to change climate, as he finds that he is
comparatively free of the trouble when in
that locality. We can congratulate the
Lehighton people on having good dentist
from this time forth.-Grest Bend Plains

-Emaus, Lehigh county. has two stock
ing factories.
Employees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company must pay all bills they con-
tract or the company will take them in
charge.
In the sidings at Laury's station are
rails which have seen thirty-six years of
service. They are twenty feet long and
weigh about forty pounds per yard.
The superintendent of the Nesquehon-
ing collieries passed through here Monday
with a pack of twenty or thirty mules. The
mules were evidently on their way to winter
quarters which makes the outlook bad for
the miners in Nesquehoning.
The reason why railroad men seldom
get hurt in leaping on moving trims is that
they know just how to do it. They do not
run after or with rapidly moving car, but
stand with back to the engine and, taking
hand nearest the train, swing, or rather
are swung, upon the steps. 1t is easy when
a person knows how to do it, and men exist
upon nearly every railroad who can mount
train going at thirty-five or forty miles an
hour.
The Lehigh Navigation Company Mon
day issued their ultimatum in this region in
connection with the pending strike of their
men in the Anthracite region, which is to
the effect that if the men do not resume
work on or before the 2Oth of the present
month the company will shut down all their
work for one year. This includes the col
lieries at Lansford, Coaldale, Nesquehon-
ing and Tamaqua, employing several thous-
and men. The men will resist what they
consider an arbitrary course of the COM
pany.
Speaking of the coal prospects the
| Coal Trade Journal say that there will be
enough to go round. II says there is a
dearth of Lehigh Valley coal, only an occa-
sional lot being sold as such. There
is no probability of strike in the Wyom-
ing district, and work there is very brisk
indeed. In the Lehigh there is no change,
the men still demanding recognition of
their order. The local market is in such
shape that dealers are always anxious for
the next cargo.
An exchange says "the miners are to
be starved into subjection! And yet they
call this the enlightened and advanced nine
teeuth century; can history furnish a par
allel to this? Evvn the Serfs of Russia, be-
fore their emancipation, were subject no
worse conditions that the bloated and
bonded plutocracy impose upon the miners
of the anthracite coal region. Ireland. sore
ly afflicted as she is, is in no worse condit-
ion than the miners over whom the coal
barons domineer. But the day of final de-
liverance will come and we believe the coal
Kings realize it..

Victor Bowman and wife were visiting
at Griffith Belongs last Sunday, and upon
returning drove out to his fathers resi-

ere the horse becoming frightened dashed
off with Mr.. B. still in the carriage, unable
to manage it; the horse ran on to the L. g.

ing up said road, over rails and ties, for a
quarter of a mile ere it was stopped Mr..
Bowman luckily escaped injury.

CHICAGO, Oct 1a-The markets to-day
opened substantially where they closed yester-
day, but the feeling became bearsh. the
chief weakness being in provisions. Trading
was more spirited the floor to-day than on
Monday, but during most of the session was
spasmodic and principally OF scalping
nature. December wheat opened at 724c and
dropped to III 072c under pronounced dispo-
si,,on to sell the article This was followed by
reaction to the closing figures of yesterday, and
before the close there was return of the weak
ness OF the morning. the bears trying in vain
to pound the December future below TIC. On
the afternoon board another decline occurred.
and December recovered its losses. closing at IA
a 72sc. The receipts continue large at North
west points, and moderately light at other points.
Corn was almost featureless to-day. The trading
was of very tame and limited kind, and at times
the pit was entirely quiet, many of the traders
being attracted to the provision pit. The de-
mand for cash corn was slightly better than yes
terday. May opened at 443c. fuctuated be-
tween 44sc and 44sc, closing at the latter figure.
There was light trading in future delivery
of oats and the margin was extremely narrow.
there peng barely &c fiuctuation in prices. The
general tone was weak, and all months were
easier. Provisions showed some awakening OF
old time iife Traders found it necessary to
again take possession of the pit, and for the first
day in many weeks the market claimed some
thing like general attention, and proved
more than ordinarily interesting. Con-
siderable activity characterized business,
